School Buddies - Old Memories

Since I found the "Friends" DVD set last Sunday in my old DVD treasure box, I am being haunted by school memories. While commuting every day to the office and back home, while taking breaks in between work, those memories seems to grip my mind. I go back to the days when Shirleen and me giggling at the sight of a new boy in class, and those days when we cheered Mike up while he played at the Thanksgiving Day game (he's such a football fanatic). Weekends were spent watching movies, listening to good live bands playing and then going on those looooong drives. I am so possessed by those memories. I had always been lucky in earning true friends. Friends that I have now( Ron, Dana, Melanie, Bryan) are precious and rare. They are mostly my college buddies and I know they will be there forever to hold my hand. But school friends are ones you grow up with, more like siblings. Together you go through the pangs of childhood, teenage and beyond. May be I am not in touch with them , right now. I feel, if I meet them tomorrow, out of the blue, I can start from where we parted. Six years of separation cannot ever rub off the sweet memories. I don't know if they(Shirleen,Mike and Sean) would have the same feeling, if they meet me. Right now we only mail each other once a month or in two. Jonathan and me are well in touch. We meet every four months. Either he comes down to meet me, or I go.
Send this friendship card to your friends and tell them to be there forever and dare not forget old buddies.

Childhood Friends

Friendship between two children is the purest form of friendship. There is no dirt, hidden motive, or meanness involved between children. Our childhood friends are our greatest treasures and we feel proud of them. Friendship between two kids slowly transform into deep friendship in the future. We rely and need our childhood friends in our day to day life. When undertaking a serious task, we seek advice from our closest pals. We rely heavily on their selflessness. Childhood friendship is all about mutual love, trust and reciprocation.

We break down when there is a rift with our childhood friends. They are very much a part of our household. So, we should be careful not to behave in an indifferent manner with them or harbor any sort of jealousy. Breaking up with your closest friend is like a handicapped person walking without the stick. Imagine living all alone without a true friend! My heart still bleeds for my long lost childhood friend, with whom I shared all joys and sorrows. I know that he is doing fine and is successful, but I have lost touch with him! Now, here lies the tragedy. You really wish that you remain friends forever, but your wish does not always come true. However, I take pride in the fact that my childhood friend is going great and I recollect all those cute and wonderful years that I have spent with him.

Sometimes, even if you don't wish, you lose contact with your childhood friends, precisely, you are a victim of circumstances. But do not feel guilty about it. If you can, try to find out your childhood friends by writing in newspapers, or speaking to people who know about them. If you are one of those lucky few to have contact with all your childhood friends, then make sure that your bond grows strong every day. Remember, that your childhood friends are precious!
